It never ceases to amaze me how close we can get to our destination without actually being able to get there on the path we’re on!

“How often do we do this operationally? We keep going until we get as close as humanly possible with our current strategy and realize there is still an ocean (perhaps with a tipped barge grounded in the center, as was the case in our story, but hopefully not) between where we want to end up and where we can get on the path we have chosen.”

Today just got a LOT more exciting! A book that was supposed to arrive tomorrow delivered a day early… the first print draft of my first ever book!

Y’all, I am actually holding a physical book in my hands that I wrote! It DOES exist!

If what we say we value doesn’t require us to operate differently, do we really believe what we say? And why would anyone else believe what we say if we aren’t living it out in the way we operate?

I had a really neat conversation with my kids yesterday. We used a deck of Story Cards, photos of everyday life, to pick what visually represents how I am as a father.

I selected a picture I hoped they would choose, a boy running through a sprinkler with a look of pure joy. Then I asked each of my boys to pick a card. One chose a man working with tools, and said I’m often home but am busy working on projects. The other chose a man reading in a field, and said I am always trying to get away from them to read.

We talked about how I could operate differently to close the gap between what I want to be known for and what I am known for. It was a difficult conversation, but one I’d much rather have now than after they are grown up!

This is something we can all do with any relationship to find out what it’s really like to be on the other side of us. Personally or professionally, it’s always better to ask now than to regret not knowing when we learn the hard way too late.

I’m going to be talking about this with Bing Oliver over a virtual networking coffee next Wednesday 4/21 at 10am EDT if you want to hear more about how you can use this too!

The expectation is no longer that we be the cheapest, but rather that we be the wisest stewards of the trust that our revenue is bestowed upon us with. If we violate that trust, either in the way we act or in the way those we reward with our revenue act, we will lose the privilege of stewarding future revenue.
